Everyone brings baggage into a relationship-but only on GSN’s new dating game show Baggage do three contestants and one “dater” bring it all to the very first date! On each half-hour episode of Baggage, Jerry Springer guides the fun as one dater chooses among three contestants who reveal the intimate secrets and hidden flaws that are typically kept under wraps to impress a first date. Each contestant enters with three suitcases-small, medium and large-containing the quirky, annoying and sometimes truly shocking “baggage” that may or may not eliminate the contestants from competition, to the accompaniment of the dater’s tagline, “I’m sorry, but you have too much baggage.” [GSN]

The clip above is a fun sample that feels like a skit from “SNL” (one of the relatively funny ones). Everyone’s like, “Basically, I’m a douchebag!” And I’m not even paraphrasing. But look at the bright side, at least Jerry Springer will be there to lend some dignity to this.

I fail to see the problem with a woman who has a porn addiction. And while I’ve never had sex in a jersey, after the Eagles beat Dallas 44-6, I did make my wife wear my Dawkins jersey. Don’t you judge me.

Can I have the phone number of the fine broad who has a porn addiction? I just want to be her sponsor.

So all the men in the clip are assholes, and the women’s biggest problems are making out too much and a porn addiction? I think the women in that clip’s biggest baggage is being pathological liars.

jrkumor, it’s funny, I thought the randomly making out with anyone was the biggest deal breaker.

I just need to figure out the dating equivalent of job interview horseshit like “I’m a workaholic” and “I push myself too hard to meet deadlines” and I’ll have a pretty easy time nailing one of these trashy whores.

Really? I the more I read comments on the site, more I realize I don’t know men at all, and maybe that is a good thing.

Well, if a girl I’m dating gets drunk and french kisses the bartender, I won’t be happy.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t “baggage” in this context supposed to mean things like: “I still live with my parents due to my meth addiction and have no intentions of moving out”, “I have 4 kids from 5 fathers cuz I’m not sure which one it was”, “I watched a lot of porn as a child and now I can’t date women with small breasts”, and “I was raped by my father when I was 8 and now I can’t date men over 40″?. With the exception of the guy hating his sister, the b.s these idiots are spouting just sounds like stupid attitude quirks that NO ONE should have by the time they’re 22.

Ok fine, 24.

The episode that cracks me up when a some chick said that she was abducted by aliens twice who are gray with big eyes. That was her big baggage. Talk about a psychopathic liar.

I think this show is ridiculous…in a good way. It cracks me up. I absolutely love it. And if Tom (from the episode this past Monday – a bit creepy but super hot w/ glasses, brown hair, blue eyes, likes the smell of his own earwax, polishes his finger- and toenails, and lost his college tuition on online gambling) and his Baggage dater don’t work out (the very nice virgin), I’d love to get a date w/ him.

Sigh.

Look what this show is doing to me already.

NO! NO! NO! for the new Naughty and Nerdy show by Jerry Springer. Please clean up your shows, dont make them more rauchy and such poor taste. Think of the morals we are giving to our children and teenagers.I wonder what God thinks of this show and the Newly Wed Show with Carnie.

NO! NO! NO! on this new Naughty and Nerdy show with Jerry Springer–Baggage. This show is too raunchy and needs cleaned up or taken out of primetime. I worry what you are doing to our children and teenagers morals. Also Carnie Wilson is filthy mouthed.
